The EL5001-0011 SSI monitor EtherCAT Terminal is used for monitoring the data exchange between SSI master and SSI encoder (slave). The encoder is powered via the existing SSI interface. The interface circuit makes the incoming data stream available to the controller as a data word in the process image. Various operating modes can be permanently set via the control register.
The BC3100 Bus Terminal Controller is a Bus Coupler with integrated PLC functionality and has a fieldbus interface for PROFIBUS. It is an intelligent slave and can be used as distributed intelligence in the PROFIBUS system. In the BC3100, one unit consists of the controller, between 1 and 64 terminals, and a bus end terminal.
